We are already into our New Zealand Summer of 2019-20 and, until yesterday, I had barely seen any butterflies. Look how quickly that has changed for me because, all of a sudden, here they are.
While out walking I came across a small, ratty area, overgrown with a wild rambling pink rose, Crocosmia (Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora a member of the Iris Family), Fennel, Birdsfoot Trefoil (habitat for blue butterflies), buttercup plants, Queen Anne's Lace and more. There they were - Coastal Coppers, Long-tailed Blues and a few White Butterflies. Not many, mind you, but enough to get me very excited and take a few decent photos. Enjoy.
